I also really like RavPower products. But I hate their pricing. So many different ads and deals and codes and specials and inconsistent pricing across platforms.

There's a difference between bean-counting and taking advantage of customers. I don't think Jobs knew Tim Cook would be like Sculley 2.0.

Bro, it's 2023. I want my God damn holograms and augmented/virtual reality, not foldable glass screens that'll fuck up because of planned obsolescence.

I'm quite sure the camera at least is paired in the s22, and I thought it was more. Maybe they got pushback and are behaving?

Most repair parts on their store page are permanently out of stock

They are also petitioning the government to ban all oled screen imports except direct from themselves, which will stop most sources for screen repairs

Prevent repair ? That’s simply not true. I run a shop on the side. Apple is the one who tries to prevent repairs in more than one way. Samsungs are actually the easiest to work on, all the same size screws, mostly modular and no encrypted / paired hardware to the phone. There may be like one exception where they tried some shit.

Anyone have problems with their chargers or type c cables?

Nitecore has nice powerbanks, I have https://www.nitecorestore.com/Nitecore-NB10000-Gen-2-Power-Bank-p/bat-nite-nb10000.htm

Sooooo innovative. I must have one. I will pay any price!

part of it is a technology limitation

That's right. Apple think "upgradable" means that they upgrade it, not you.

Jobs knew who Tim Cook was, very well. He had competing visions for Apple in front of him, and he chose the beancounter. He wanted it to be successful, not artistic, in the end.

I still buy RAVPower power banks, despite Amazon banning them. Still make good products. Anker are nice since they are decent quality and next day delivery from Amazon. Ravpower still seems to dropship from amazon, which is kinda weird, but I'm told that the warehouse shipping didn't ban RAVPower just the webstore portion.

I don’t think apples are gendered

Know what? I’m good with keeping the touch-sensitive areas on just one side of the device. I butt-dial enough as is.

I don't think they're gonna get interest outside of niche commercial applications

I have the A1229 one same

Darn I don’t know which one I have but I have one of those now I need to check

Edit: good news it’s not the one I have

Damn. We ran out of warranty a month or two and they charged $400 to replace the fold Z. 😂 wish they were they kind in Korea

I got 2 A1365s

Stop

It's not the 90s anymore. Any charger that will overcharge the battery if left plugged it does not deserve to go into production.
